This week’s edition of The Fonecast included an interview with Suneet S Tuli, CEO of DataWind. DataWind is the Canadian company that produces the PocketSurfer2 internet device. There wasn’t room for the entire interview in our regular show so we’ve produced a separate podcast containing the full conversation.
In it, Suneet talks about convergence, simple data prices, roaming charges, usage, consumer acceptance and the forthcoming PocketSurfer3 – which is scheduled to appear before the end of summer 2009.
